-  * [[http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/mapping/|MAPC2MAPC]], an offline map converter, which allows to **convert various offline map formats** in AQM format and to **calibrate maps on images** (free and paid versions available).
-==== QuickChart Map Format (*.qct) from MemoryMap ====
-This is a common map format used by MemoryMap that allows users to use commercial maps in AlpineQuest.
-Key features are:
